Social Media is a great tool to use to help promote and build your business, but having to come up with new content can be a drag. Here are 4 content prompts you can use for the next time you’re stuck in a creative rut. 

Testimonials

“It’s not bragging if you can back it up.”-Muhammad Ali 

Posting testimonials from your clients is a great way to directly show your clients and potential clients that not only are you good at what you do, but you’re great! When others see testimonials on a regular basis, it can help instill confidence in them that you are the right person for the job! 

Social Media Stories (Quick, Yet Important Content)

Sharing content on your social media stories is a fun way to interact with your audience in a different way than you would normally do. Try snapping a behind the scenes photo or video on the project you are working on or of your work space- don’t forget to hashtag #bts (Behind The Scenes) to get a further reach! 

Stories are also an amazing way to learn about what your audience wants to see from you. Posting interactive stories like “This or That” or asking a question can allow your audience to engage with you on a more personal level. 

Announcements

Do you have some exciting news you would like to share? It could be a new product that is launching soon or a special sale that you want to offer your customers! Use Announcement as an opportunity to add a flair of excitement to your content! 

Images/ Videos (The Content That Keeps Giving)

What would Social Media be without pictures and videos? Sometimes it’s hard to get new, unique and original content. Share yourself or your team. Make it human, make a connection and show who is behind your social account and your company. We find that showcasing pictures of yourself and your team has a positive outcome with increased engagement on social media. 

If you can, hire a photographer and/or videographer to follow you around for the day, or bring them to an event you are working on. You can get a ton of images/videos that you otherwise wouldn’t normally be able to capture. You can then use these photos and videos for any of the content that we talked about earlier! 

Having to be constantly creative can be hard, but with these content prompts, you can be prepared for the next time you need content- or contact us! Rosewood offers a range of marketing services that can fit every business owner’s needs, from professional photography and videography to social media marketing and account management.

5 Genius Facebook Marketing Ideas for Your Business

facebook marketing tips rosewood deanna simone

Facebook marketing may seem tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it – you will be able to take your brand’s online presence to new heights in no time! Check out these 5 hacks which will help you generate traffic and successfully target the right people.

  1. Specify Your Target Market

Facebook allows a highly complex level of ad targeting and is undoubtedly one of the main reasons to be excited about Facebook marketing as a whole. You can target a specific group of people based on their exact language spoken, age, geographic location, hobbies, interests, # of kids, and so much more. Hopefully, you’ve already dedicated time and resources to analyzing your customer base and forming buyer personas. And now you can put those personas to use and advertise directly to the people that are most likely to be interested in your products or offerings.

  1. Target Your Existing Leads

Using Facebook’s ‘Custom Audiences’ feature, you can target leads you’ve captured from your newsletter signup or other lead generation efforts, or even a group of your current customers that you’re trying to upsell. In addition to focusing on insanely targeted audiences, you should also be creating ads for the clients/customers you already have, but in an even more personalized way. For example, if you have a list of people who downloaded a guide titled “Introduction to Building Your Own Website” – you can upload that list and target these people with a custom ad that discusses the next steps for taking their website to the next level.

  1. Clone Your Main Revenue-Generating Audience

Once you’ve acquired enough data, you can actually clone your top-performing Facebook audience! Facebook’s has a ‘Lookalike Audience’ feature which allows you to take an audience you already have and expand your reach by finding new leads that have similar characteristics. In other words, you can duplicate your best customers. It really is that easy! 

  1. Humanize Your Brand with Employee Photos

Facebook’s foundation is built on connecting people. The original intent of Facebook was to interact with friends, and not necessarily advertise your business, but it’s easy for digital marketers to forget this. Focusing solely on product-related messages will only take you so far. Showing the people behind the scenes will allow you to connect with your audience in a more relatable and human way.

  1. Make Effective Use of Emojis

According to AdWeek, 92% of online users use emojis, and frequent users feel emojis express their feelings more accurately than words. Emojis are kind of like dogs and babies – (almost) everyone loves them! In short, use emojis in your Facebook marketing posts to add personality and emotion to your text.

And there you have it! And you never know, by putting these 5 hacks to use – Facebook Advertising may soon become your fastest-growing marketing channel!
